That's great I'm doing great also the sleeve has transformed my life my surgery was 6/12/14 highest wt was 362 post op 355 wt as of last sat 299.4

I'm pretty sure we all went through some moments of terror as our surgery dates approached. That's very normal (and justified). Any nurse knows that all surgery carries risks, and this is a major surgery, no doubt about it. It didn't really hit me until after my surgery just how PERMANENT it is. I knew it in my head of course, but as I struggled to get down 1/3 cup of food it really hit me that I can't EVER eat as much as I want of something, ever again, no matter how good it tastes. It was something I had to grieve, and still struggle with sometimes, but most of the time I'm thankful for the restriction and the ensuing weight loss. All I can tell you is to check out your surgeon thoroughly, and have confidence in his skills. Rest in that, and in the knowledge you will soon be sitting on the loser's bench! Thanks for the reply I had my surgery 6/12/14 doing well no complications just has from time to time down 19 lbs since them I'm feeling better than I have in years
